Season 10 - Episode 4 discussion

[Agent Acme]

Certainly a better showing than last weeks episode, and definitely one of the best Harry and Ruth scenes for a long while, though I still can't quite fathom their actual relationship status, it seems like its just been accepted that they feel, 'something' for each other but still have done nothing about it, there's not an awful lot of warmth there, especially from Ruth, yet she's still prepared to go out on a limb for him, as in her meeting with Jim Coaver.

I don't know what you all think, but the meeting in the park, the set up for Coaver, did it not seem a little odd, Harry Ruth and Sacha weren't exactly hiding very well, I know they were just waiting to see if it was Coaver that actually turned up, and the attempted assassination of Elena, was a pretty poor effort for an alleged CIA operative...I'm still not sure about Elena.

Also during the meeting with Ruth on the bridge, Coaver mentioned Harry's unauthorised attempted extraction of Elena and Sacha at Treptower park in Berlin.
" I would never have done it....I hope he knows that. I don't shoot my friends, family maybe, but not my friends." Part of what Coaver said. Not altogether sure whether that was meant literally or not but I gather it was Coaver that put the kibosh on Harry's attempt to get them out. Ruth looked a little perturbed at this revelation, obviously Harry's version is different. Coaver gave Ruth a file.

It's all as clear as mud to me....have to have a re-watch I think....
